Sunrise Medical/Sterling Sterling S400 Pavement Mobility Scooter
Our Take
The Sunrise Medical Sterling S400 Pavement Mobility Scooter is a comfortable, practical four-wheel scooter. It’s a Class 2 model. So it runs on pavements at up to 4 mph. However, it isn’t made for the road. The four wheels give it a solid, planted ride.
The scooter carries users up to 136 kg. Meanwhile, a full charge covers around 22 miles. That’s plenty for shopping, errands and longer local outings.
The total weight is 109 kg. It does not fold, but the seat comes off at 35 kg, along with the basket, armrests and headrest. Because it stays in one piece, you’ll need a ramp and hoist rather than a car boot. It also needs proper storage space at home.
The Sunrise Medical Sterling S400 Pavement Mobility Scooter suits someone who wants comfort and range over portability. So if you have somewhere to store and charge it, it fits well. Buyers who need to lift a scooter into a car should choose a lighter folding model instead.
If the Sunrise Medical/Sterling Sterling S400 fits the bill for getting about locally, a few similar models are worth comparing. The Kymco Super 4 trims the weight to 100kg and the Drive Medical Easy Rider Harley Style sits in much the same bracket, while the Kymco Komfy 4 comes in lighter at 93kg. Any of them would suit much the same use.
The Sunrise Medical/Sterling Sterling S400 is well suited to pottering about locally and running errands. As ever, the best way to judge a scooter is to try it for yourself. The Find this Product Near Me search finds dealers in your area to compare on price, and Buyer’s Guide runs through what matters.
